Booster clubs in Europe?

Recommended Posts

Hey there! I am European and recently found out about booster clubs on here. And have some questions, about these clubs:

Are they organized by the school or the partents? If parents, is it like a PTA organization?

How are these clubs funded? By the school, government or fundraisers

Is there a similar name for them in Europe?

Either way, I can see that a lot of high schools are very sports driven in the US. I was wondering if this can be accredited to the so called booster clubs. And as far as I can tell there’s different kinds? Like Athletic booster clubs, band booster clubs and they even have school art programs?
